We need to talk about the lack of mental health funding in this country. With citizens and veterans. That should be mandatory spending for creating a healthy society.

(1/2) President Trump and his administration have spent the past year repressing free expression, targeting artists, journalists, and comedians, and erasing the history of Americans whose contributions made our nation better and more just.

(2/2) President Kennedy proudly stood for justice, peace, equality, dignity, diversity, and compassion for those who suffer. President Trump stands in opposition to these values, and his name should not be placed alongside President Kennedy's.

A lot of you get off on poking Tom and I get it, he's a grumpy jerk. That's his thing. But he's also not wrong. These people certainly are at least fascist-adjacent, but that's not his point. What we are living through isn't pure fascism. Yet. We can still fix it, or it can get a whole lot worse.
Okay. Let me try this another way, and see if that works.

I was a boy with relatives in Greece during the time of the Colonels, a pretty scary military junta. Some would say it was fascist: Militarism, anti-communism, nostalgia, etc.

But no.

Like many Never Trumpers and other people with a public profile, I have been on the receiving end of death threats for years just for speaking my mind.
No one in America should risk being killed for exercising their right to speak, no matter how despicable you think their views might be.

Political violence disproportionately hurts people with less power, not people with more power. Political violence will disproportionately hurt people of color and women and LGBTQ people. It’s not fair, but that’s the way it works. Celebrating political violence means at best indifference to that.
Political violence is bad. It usually begets more political violence.

Celebrating political violence is bad. It usually encourages more political violence, against various targets.

Campus shootings are bad. They make everyone on campus less safe.

It's bad that what I wrote here is controversial.

Still, I think the best approach for the left is to let them have their hagiography and go back to focusing on what they were doing yesterday. I don’t know that arguing with obituaries really wins anyone over.

Wow. This is major news. Judges discuss moving the U.S. marshals from the executive to the judicial branch. Not only would they protect judges from trump threats, but it would also make it easier for courts to order marshals to carry out court orders.
